China wants the ability to destroy GPS satellites when above China
Dec 4, 2007 gps navigation, misc news
According to the annual report of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, the Chinese military is acquiring the “ability to destroy or temporarily incapacitate every enemy space vehicle when it is located above China”.
The Chinese also plan to attack U.S. global positioning system (GPS) satellites through various means, including anti-satellite weapons, high-energy weapons, high-energy weather monitoring rockets and ground attacks on earth-based stations.
I guess if this ever happens, then U.S. would bring down China’s Beidou – and then not to be left out of the game Russian would attempt to hit EU’s Galileo satellites until every positioning satellite left in orbit is knocked out of the sky. So if you ever experience some sort of interruption in your GPS signal reception you can be sure that WWIII has started.
